Procedure used to collect Data

In order to completion my SBA, I gave questionnaire to my respondents were the students of the Edith Dalton James High School. I chose these students based on their availability. Therefore during my prefect duties hours, monitoring the students during detention, I issued out my questionnaires to them. I started out by issuing 20 questionnaires and the next day I issue the other 10 to the next detention students. I told each student to leave the questionnaire at the Deans office when completed. There I could collect them more easily. I collect back all 30 copies of my questionnaires completely answered.
